The White Rose by Inge Scholl

[Scott]

A woman named Nikki sent the following book recommendation to me: The White Rose: Munich, 1942-1943 by Inge Scholl

I haven't read this book. Have you read it? What thoughts do you have regarding this book?

The White Rose tells the story of Hans Scholl and Sophie Scholl, who in 1942 led a small underground organization of German students and professors to oppose the atrocities committed by Hitler and the Nazi Party. They named their group the White Rose, and they distributed leaflets denouncing the Nazi regime. Sophie, Hans, and a third student were caught and executed.

Written by Inge Scholl (Han's and Sophie's sister), The White Rose features letters, diary excerpts, photographs of Hans and Sophie, transcriptions of the leaflets, and accounts of the trial and execution. This is a gripping account of courage and morality.

It sounds very interesting. What do you think?
